"I... my phone was in my backpack at the time, and the arcade was a bit noisy... I'm sorry."
Gu Yuheng sighed, then said, "It's not that I don't allow you to go out and have fun. I just hope that when you're having fun, you don't forget that you have a husband at home who will worry about you and wait for you to come home for dinner... Are you hungry?"
Lin Chuxia nodded, "A little bit." They had been eating snacks in the afternoon and hadn't felt hungry, but now that Gu Yuheng had asked, they realized they were actually a little hungry.
"The kitchen left you some food. I'll heat it up for you. Would you like to eat with me?"
Lin Chuxia noticed the word "accompany" in his words and was slightly taken aback. "Gu Yuheng, you haven't eaten either?"
"I thought if you were hungry when you came back, you might find it boring to eat alone, so I only ate a little." Besides, without her around, he didn't enjoy eating alone and didn't have much of an appetite.
As for Fang Jiaxi? Well, in Gu Yuheng's eyes, this unfortunate child is just a wisp of air.
Watching the man bustling about in the kitchen, Lin Chuxia's eyes welled up with tears.
Lin Chuxia suddenly felt a little guilty: Gu Yuheng was so good to her and thought of her in everything, but she had just lied to him to avoid responsibility... Compared to how good Gu Yuheng was to her, she felt like a scumbag.
This time, Lin Chuxia's eyes genuinely reddened involuntarily, unlike the blush she had deliberately created earlier.
“Gu Yuheng, I know I was wrong… Also, I just lied to you. I have always believed you. I did not listen to Su Manwen today, nor was I influenced by her.”
Gu Yuheng's voice remained unchanged: "Yes, I know."
"I didn't understand anything she said back then... Hey, you know?" Lin Chuxia suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, and then looked at Gu Yuheng with a surprised expression.
Gu Yuheng took the heated food out of the microwave, glanced back at her, and said indifferently, "Otherwise, why do you think I didn't go out and catch you myself even though I called you so many times and couldn't reach you? Have you forgotten? Jintong Mall belongs to our family."
It was incredibly easy for him to find out her whereabouts.
He knew exactly how she had a good day, whether she was happy or sad.
He felt a pang of loneliness precisely because he knew she had had so much fun today. He wondered if he had made a mistake by keeping her so confined. She was at an age where she should be playing, yet he was constantly keeping her at home with him…
He was afraid she would get bored, worried she would tire of him, and also felt that he was... a little selfish. He kept saying he loved her, but he didn't even want to give her a little bit of personal space.
Will the little girl feel that he is pushing her too hard?
However, despite this concern, Gu Yuheng did not consider asking her meaningless questions such as whether she was happier with him or with her friends.
"Gu Yuheng, are you unhappy?" Lin Chuxia keenly noticed the fleeting low mood on Gu Yuheng's face.
Gu Yuheng placed the food on the table and said calmly, "Yes, as I just said, I'm still angry."
Really? But she felt it wasn't because of that.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chuxia stepped forward and hugged the man's waist from behind, gently rubbing her face against his back: "Gu Yuheng, don't be upset, okay?"
